Media still unfair to Palin

EDITOR: Sarah Palin in her book has indeed nailed the situation correctly of what occurred in the Wausau School District. An attempt was made by a school official to restrict free speech and expression of religion. It was exactly what Palin’s book depicts has also occurred under similar circumstances in other school districts.

Palin’s visit here to Wausau for her book signing was not well-received by the local media. That is not a shock to any of her supporters. (By the way, that’s “supporters,” not “fans.”) Daily Herald Media like other local media all fall under the category of the “lamestream media,” as she refers to them.

It was reported by the media that there was “tight security” for her visit. There was not. I was there. They are confusing tight security to limited access. The book signing was set up the way it was to limit the opportunity of her detractors to disrupt the visit. Palin’s team knew they were coming to enemy territory fresh off the failed attempt to recall Walker and to an area where Christianity is under attack. It’s how the rest of the country sees Wisconsin and Wausau now.

Palin’s book has a positive message. From a private citizen whose reputation and family is constantly under attack from the media and their falsehoods, lies and photoshopped images. Thank you for the visit, Sarah Palin.
